  • OpenScan

    A privacy-friendly Document Scanner app

  • PaddleOCR

    Awesome multilingual OCR toolkits based on PaddlePaddle (practical ultra lightweight OCR system, support 80+ languages recognition, provide data annotation and synthesis tools, support training and deployment among server, mobile, embedded and IoT devices)

    I would recommend https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR over the default tesseract. It seems to do a better job these days and uses more modern approaches.

  • OpenNoteScanner

    Android application for scanning and manipulating handwritten notes and documents.

    I've used OpenNoteScan before:

    * https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.todobom.opennotescanner/

    * https://github.com/allgood/OpenNoteScanner

    It works OK but it looks a bit old, and you need to install OpenCV Manager separately, outside of F-Droid for it to work.

    I can deal with it, but there's no way I could ever be able to convince anybody else, especially non-tech people to use it.

    This one looks like a winner in terms of UX, so I'll be using it from now on, Thank you for creating it!
